From the mind of the whipper snap.

There is nothing easy about this day for any of us; Saying goodbye to you and facing reality. I have been awake since 6:30 AM at least with my stomach doing flips. No offense to you friend, but I am ready for this to be over. I am going to say goodbye to you today with some of the best people by my side. You are so loved and you are going to be missed so much. I keep looking out the window hoping for sunshine; you deserve sunshine today. Whatever the circumstances of today, I know that you will be helping pull all of us through. ...I'll be seeing you.

Hey... I wanted to write this blog TO Everett,... I know we were not really close, but you were a friend and a classmate that everyone loved. For now, I feel like I have someone to write to. I really don't like my job, but I would love to be able to make you one more sandwich. Hell, I would make you 100 sandwiches if you wanted. Just to be able to talk to you about life and bullshit with you. You were a professional at bullshitting. People have shed so many tears over you... I just want you to know that. It hit me like a brick wall. I have never been one that dealt much with death. Yes, it's sad, but I went on. This time,..it's different. My friends are hurting with me. I have been working non-stop since I found out and I think it is a good thing to keep my mind that busy. I bought a paper and read your obituary this morning. They did a great job on it and the picture, too. I actually heard a guy say, "Man, these papers are selling out fast, there must be something g

Tonight while I was at work I got some of the most upsetting news that I think I have ever received; A class mate had passed away. I have never had to deal with death really, but I found myself crying...actually crying, at work. Everett, I just want you to know how much you will be missed and how great of a person you were. Your passing is still a hard thing to process. I just made you a sandwich the other day at work and we talked. We talked about life, school, and about how we both suck at math. Like many other encounters, you made me smile and laugh that day. I think that is what is so heartbreaking. You will not be able to make me laugh again and I will never see you again. I know this is a tough time for anyone that was even graced with your presence, because you made them smile and laugh, too. You were not supposed to leave us yet. We were all supposed to have children, so they could be hoodlums together. The class of 2008 has always been a close graduating class, so I know it is

Bahhhh. I know that's not proper, but that's how I feel as of right now. I did not want to get out of bed, but I had to because I had a tanning appointment and I am ready to look like a Jersey Shore girl, but the Illinois version. Actually, I have a ton of things to do today, but that is only one of the reasons and I really do not even have time to write this blog. However, since I have a new abundance of time due to the fact that I am TEMPORARILY giving up my Facebook addiction, I figured blogging would be the way to go. I have an announcement to make and it is pretty huge (ha ha). Today, I will be an official member of the state of Illinois AKA Kelsey is getting her Illinois license when she should have done it about...6 months ago; no big deal. Another thing I am doing today (MAYBE) which is semi-cool and semi-frustrating is going car shopping. I'm going with Brad, so we shall see how this goes. He is obsessed beyond belief with cars, so it makes it difficult for me to e

Alright, it's 2012, so a blog post was a must. Like usual, I have a "whole lot" to talk about that is really "important". I do most of my thinking when I am at work and then I can never get it translated from my brain onto paper and I usually forget most of the things that I think are important. However, I did remember the most important thing, which was me thinking about where I wanted to be during this year/end of the year and what kind of person I wanted to be. 2011 kind of sucked all the way around. I know it could have been a lot worse, but like most things, there was definitely room for some improvement. A list of things that sucked during 2011 are: 1. Towards the end of 2010, I moved to Washington and fell in love with it, but in 2011 I had to move back to my crappy hometown. 2. I have a job that I can barely stand anymore. 3. I had a falling out with Brad's sister which caused me to no longer be in contact with her or her little boy. 4. I had t
